Hold Us Down
(ad-lib)
Oi you, looking at me
What is it that you think you see?
Oh we used to believe this town
You, me used to be free
Now every time that we try to speak
So loud we're shouting into the crowd
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, till we're in the ground
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, can you hear this sound
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, we're gonna take this town
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, from the underground
So all the people living here in this fear
So living in the shadows they engineer
I'm calling to my neighbours to re-appear
Hey hey, they say, nothing's gonna hold us
(Ad-lib)
Hey hey, nothing's gonna hold us
Tell me what do you see
And everything that we're meant to be
Oh we used to believe this town
(ooh ooh)
You, me living in sin
And every time that we try to think
Shot down, never to be seen or found
(Rap)
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, till we're in the ground
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, can you hear this sound
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, we're gonna take this town
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, from the underground
Everybody want just to hold us down
Everybody want just to hold us down
Everybody want just to hold us down
Everybody want just to hold us down
Oi you, looking at me
What is it that you think you see?
Oh we used to believe this town
You, me used to be free
Now every time that we try to speak
So loud we're shouting into the crowd
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, till we're in the ground
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, can you hear this sound
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, we're gonna take this town
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, from the underground
So all the people living here in this fear
So living in the shadows they engineer
I'm calling to my neighbours to re-appear
Hey hey, they say, nothing's gonna hold us
(Ad-lib)
Hey hey, nothing's gonna hold us
Tell me what do you see
And everything that we're meant to be
Oh we used to believe this town
(ooh ooh)
You, me living in sin
And every time that we try to think
Shot down, never to be seen or found
(Rap)
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, till we're in the ground
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, can you hear this sound
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, we're gonna take this town
Everybody want just to hold us down
Hey, from the underground
Everybody want just to hold us down
Everybody want just to hold us down
Everybody want just to hold us down
Everybody want just to hold us down
